Dear faculty and staff, With the introduction of our new LMS, OnCourse, the campus will use a revised schedule for submission of new online courses for Summer 2016.
Step 1: Building Your Online Course: If you have not completed BYOC, the 8 week online pedagogy course, the next session will begin on Wednesday, January 13, 2016. This fully online course will assist you in planning and building your online course. Registration for this course is available at __http://pdc.fredonia.libcal.com/event.php?id=1056852__. If you have already completed BYOC, you do not need to repeat this course, but will need to complete Step 2.
For all courses starting in Summer 2016 the new LMS, OnCourse, will be used in place of ANGEL. OnCourse trainings are now taking place regularly. To see a current listing of trainings, please visit __http://www.fredonia.edu/online/OnCourseWorkshops.asp__.
If you are considering a new online course for Summer 2016 please discuss the course with your department first. After obtaining departmental approval, contact Lisa Melohusky (__Lisa.Melohusky@fredonia.edu__) to have a course shell created where you can begin building.

'Bad' video game behavior increases players' moral sensitivity: May lead to pro-social behavior in real world Posted: 27 Jun 2014 01:37 PM PDT New evidence suggests heinous behavior played out in a virtual environment can lead to players' increased sensitivity toward the moral codes they violated. The current study found such guilt can lead players to be more sensitive to the moral issues they violated during game play. Other studies have established that in real life scenarios, guilt evoked by immoral behavior in the "real-world" elicits pro-social behaviors in most people.

ABSTRACT
Several researchers have demonstrated that the virtual behaviors committed in a video game can elicit feelings of guilt. Researchers have proposed that such guilt could have prosocial consequences. However, this proposition has not been supported with empirical evidence. The current study examined this issue in a 2×2 (video game play vs. real world recollection×guilt vs. control) experiment. Participants were first randomly assigned to either play a video game or complete a memory recall task. Next, participants were randomly assigned to either a guilt-inducing condition (game play as a terrorist/recall of acts that induce guilt) or a control condition (game play as a UN soldier/recall of acts that do not induce guilt). Results of the study indicate several important findings. First, the current results replicate previous research indicating that immoral virtual behaviors are capable of eliciting guilt. Second, and more importantly, the guilt elicited by game play led to intuition-specific increases in the salience of violated moral foundations. These findings indicate that committing “immoral” virtual behaviors in a video game can lead to increased moral sensitivity of the player. The potential prosocial benefits of these findings are discussed.
